Never again rely upon expensive and often unreliable electronic navigation equipment. Learn the age old true and tried methods of celestial navigation in this four-evening class which covers navigation using the sun, moon, stars and planets.

Our extensive curriculum consists of a sequence of
four individual courses.

This two day 10 hr program will
cover care and use of sextant, Nautical Almanac for sight
reductions, taking celestial sights, sight reduction formulas,
determination and compensation for watch error, sextant errors and
height of eye, understanding of the Navigational Triangle, plotting
intercepts and position determinations using a variety of
techniques.

This 5 hr classroom "Cruise" provides the application and practice of the theory learned in the
celestial navigation core theory class in addition to use of the
Star Finder for sign planning. Many programs only "Discuss" the navigation tools. This class provides the opportunity to apply and practice your theory knowledge during an extensive classroom cruise designed to stretch and solidify your understanding and skills.
